Mac OS X Maintenance Checklist

Whether it’s your car or your Mac, you’ve got to do the maintenance to keep things running fast and smooth. You probably already know about some of the items that show up in this table. (For example, backing up regularly — you do back up regularly, right?) Unfortunately, some other maintenance tasks don’t get as much attention, but also play a vital part in keeping your Mac in tip-top condition for as long as possible. So check this table often, or print it and keep a copy near your desktop!
